报告内容简介: 

      For many decades, Lake Erie has oscillated between being the poster child for poor water quality and environmental health due to human activity to a global example of a successful large lake restoration.  Currently, Lake Erie is once again experiencing the symptoms of nutrient pollution, harmful algal blooms and hypoxic zones, also known as low oxygen regions.  Harmful algal blooms, that primarily occur in the western basin, have caused human health scares due to contaminated drinking water as well as economic losses to the region.  Recently, the State of Ohio listed the open waters of Lake Erie as impaired due to harmful algal blooms.  Dr. Davis will discuss the global trends in degrading water quality and the increasing prevalence of harmful algal blooms, lessons learned from the past, the current state of the science as well as what needs to continue in the future to reduce the size, duration and toxicity of harmful algal blooms in western Lake Erie.
